Adventures Of A Goblin

Chapter 170 Physical Exchange



Orun instinctively raised his guard up, shielding himself from the kick that came from his back, and aiming for his head. He stopped the kick, and stretched out his hand to grab unto the leg then threw it off of the Wyvern leader's back.

"what the hell was that?".

Orun looking extremely surprised and on edge about what just happened.

He questioned how the human figure was able to get behind him, all the while he did not notice, what kind of concealment procedure method could he have used to carry it out?.

Even if Orun had not detected anything, at least Oracle would have, and would also have alerted him just in time, even before the presence got to his back.

[forgive me master, I was unable to feel his presence in time and almost put master's life in jeopardy].

'there is no need to feel sorry about this. This just mean we are dealing with an opponent who has to be extremely versed in stealth, enough to escape getting sighted by even you'.

Orun could not put the blame on Oracle, not when he or the other Wyverns were also just as useless when it came to sensing the man that appeared before him.

"what was that about".

Orun was riding on the Wyvern leader's back when the incident happened, and the only thing she managed to see, is a human figure being thrown off of her back.

"company, a really stealthy one, and presumably can jump very high".

Orun moved himself closer to the ends of the Wyvern leader's back, to see if he could spot the one that attacked him.

"i have to say, I wasn't really expecting you to be fast enough to react to my attack".

He stood high on the Wyvern leader's back, and raised his head up to where the voice had come from.

Orun was taken unaware to see the human man flying above him and the Wyvern pack without the help of wings or any other thing supporting him.

"hmm..., are you the monster I am hunting for".

The human male faced Orun when he talked, so for one, he knew it was him the human male is talking to. The only problem with the human male conversing with him, is that he understands nothing of what he is saying.

"right, I forgot, you can't understand me, and I also cannot understand you. Guess I will have to find that out from your mana signature".

Orun had his Aura completely toned down so he wouldn't be spotted by the humans below when he is about to attack them.

That was the idea behind it, but that is now serving as an hindrance for Caius who was only able to track down Orun by following his residue mana fluctuation from Edevin city all the way to this forest.

The only way for Caius to know if Orun is the monster, is by forcing him to use his mana, and that can only be done when he is attacked and defending with his mana.

"no matter, monster or not, you look dangerous, and it is my duty to eliminate threats like you".

Caius from above, stretched out his hand down on Orun and the Wyvern pack. He opened the floor for his attack starting with conjuring up fires, and falling them down like droplets of rain.

"Wyvern pack, disperse".

The Wyvern leader gave out the order, following Caius's attack. The Pack splitted themselves, each twisting and turning, performing different diving acts and evading the droplets of fire a out to make contact with their skin.

"Pack, we will surround the human and release our breathe on him in unison".

The Wyvern leader says, still free diving to avoid Caius's attack.

"no, if we do that, it will screw with the whole plan. We stick to the plan like we talked about. You guys continue to your destination, and leave this place for me to take care of".

"will you be fine by yourself? He can fly, you can't".

"i might not be able to fly, but I have attacks with long distance range".

Orun in retaliation, while still on the back of the Wyvern leader, he sprouted out thorn from his palm, and hurled it at Caius who is above him.

"be safe".

The Wyvern leader says, hesitant to leave Orun to fend for himself.

"i will".

Orun ran on the Wyvern leader's back, and when he got to her head, he jumped and hurled himself in the direction Caius is floating in.

Orun overlapped Caius by jumping above him. He quickly spread his palm out, crafting his thorn in the form of a net, then dropped it down on Caius.

"you are definitely the monster I have been looking for".

Using his thorn required mana, and Caius was able to discern Orun's mana fluctuation from the skills he had just used.

"but you must be more dumb than I had given you credit for if you think a net is supposedly going to stop me".

Caius burned down the net made of thorn the moment it made contact with him.

Orun wasn't exactly expecting such scenario. If the net was made with ordinary materials, then sure it would not do Caius any harm, but the thorn net Orun used, was made using the mana from his inferno mana core, meaning the thorn net itself has fire type attribute and should be able to withstand others flame to a certain degree, is what Orun thought.

Caius proving him otherwise can only mean that Orun's flame aptitude does not stand a chance against Caius's aptitude, or the mana in the thorn was just too weak to withstand Caius's flame.

Orun created his bow, and fired off three shots at Caius, who evaded all three of them by moving steadily to the sides.

"seriously? Is this really the unknown rank monster I came after?".

Caius was disappointed with the situation he had found himself. The damage done to Edevin was considerably high, and much more than what the monster before him has to offer.

When he got to Edevin to investigate, he could still feel the mana residue in the surroundings affecting the other monsters that are exposed to it.

That was what made Caius be on edge, that the monster he is after, isn't any kind of monster but an high ranking one. The monster before him however, does not live up to the reputation Caius had painted in his mind.
